This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled net: mdio: introduce a shutdown method to mdio device drivers to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: net-mdio-introduce-a-shutdown-method-to-mdio-device-.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit fe391b2a2ac5f2910a3ed3032da35996ba0877b0 Author: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 17 16:34:32 2021 +0300 net: mdio: introduce a shutdown method to mdio device drivers [ Upstream commit cf9579976f724ad517cc15b7caadea728c7e245c ] MDIO-attached devices might have interrupts and other things that might need quiesced when we kexec into a new kernel. Things are even more creepy when those interrupt lines are shared, and in that case it is absolutely mandatory to disable all interrupt sources. Moreover, MDIO devices might be DSA switches, and DSA needs its own shutdown method to unlink from the DSA master, which is a new requirement that appeared after commit 2f1e8ea726e9 ("net: dsa: link interfaces with the DSA master to get rid of lockdep warnings"). So introduce a ->shutdown method in the MDIO device driver structure.
